storage charge = 50% of the mAh value. (ie. 3000mAh niMh pack = 1500mAhs) OR if you have a basic wall charger, figure out what it takes in time to fully charge the pack and then charge it for 1/2 the...

RE: Deans??? Tamiya???

(1) strip 1/4-3/8 inch of the jacket off the wire, pre-tin wires and deans. let it cool.
(2) cut the appropriate length of shrink tube about 1/2+ inch should suffice.

RE: Deans??? Tamiya???

think of it this way - if you use a water hose to hose down a fire, which works better?

RE: Deans??? Tamiya???

pre-tin them = putting solder on the wires and on the deans so that when you do solder the wire to the connector they will adhere faster and easier for you.

You'll need a "third hand" to hold...

RE: Deans??? Tamiya???

RE: Deans??? Tamiya???

???




should be fine - just let it get hot first. it sounds like this is your first time soldering. If so, I'd recommend you do a few trial runs with some wire, soldering them together. ;)

RE: Deans??? Tamiya???

for the ease swapping them, just cut them and resolder to the deans.

you can remove them intact, but it takes some finesse and patience to to this.

RE: Deans??? Tamiya???
